I'm definitely interested Danny, and guess what? VM have their own poker society with tournaments, so I might be seeing you at that! :biggrin:

Well I know all three. so :aetsch:

In addition to VM poker soc, the uni itself has one too. It is one of the largest societies in the uni I think. for more info see www.durhampoker.co.uk

To answer the original question, I think the uni network blocks anything that involves a p2p connection.

Huzzah! I can't teach you much really in return but hey ho. I love card games and board games (as I am a keeno). :suitc:

And I also love the oh-so-adequate surname Gamble haha. x

Eee! I'm all excited now - yes we have to have Monopoly too, me and my friends play it in our lunchbreak at school! I'm such a geek! :biggrin:

I have played bridge before, but my fave games are Texas Hold Em Poker, Backgammon, Hearts and Spades. Spades can be quite fun, but I'm not sure if it's played much apart from online.

Oh, Danny I'll be going on the Monday - Tuesday open day, we'll have to PM each other before we go with something that we'll be wearing so we can say hi!

BACKGAMMON! Yay! I love it! VM will be raving! x

Lol! No, Castle is prison :biggrin:

.

Actually, that would be quite fun... Castle as Mayfair, have Hatfield as the Greens, VM I reckon would be the Oranges, the seperate blocks; not the most valuable, but the best overall (some weirdo mathmo actually worked this all out statistically lol!)... Haha, I'm thinking far too much about this! But blatantly me, you and Caz as the resident VM Monopolettes...

We are so cool :p:

. Nooo, come on the Tuesday/Wednesday one! Tbh, I don't really know which one I'm on yet! Actually, after you're finished at 1 on the Tuesday, I'm up in Durham for the day meeting up with a mate who lives there (phil_m88 from TSR). He's gonna show me the sights of Durham lol! You and Reblet are more than welcome to come along if you want; the more the merrier lol! Whichever day you go to it works out OK.

^ Hmmm... I could wear something truly retarded and neon so I'm easily recognisable... or you could just check out my profile pic and recognise me from that :p:

Mildert's poker society is really successful and popular with about 20 players on a weekly basis. We also hold a termly invitational with smart dress code etc, it's really good! (I managed to come second somehow!). We also have a league system where you can score points over the term for some extra interest. New players would be greatly welcomed next year and you're bound to have lots of fun and meet some great people when you're there!
